Re: dior homme intense(vintage) vs reformulation vs dior homme

I have vintage DHI and the reformulated DH. I have sampled new DHI and it really is a pale shadow of the vintage. Whilst the vintage is dense, with moderate silage and excellent longevity, the reformulated stuff is very thin.

I actually prefer the reformulated DH to both the others, but have not tried the vintage so cannot compare.

Re: dior homme intense(vintage) vs reformulation vs dior homme

What a lot of people will tell you is that between DHI and DHI vintage, the vintage is more powerful in longevity, projection, and sillage; has a bolder smell and is all around a better EDP than the 2011+ ones.

Between DH and DH vintage I'm quite surprised, as a lot will tell you that the reformulated one actually smells better although I've never tried myself.

Re: dior homme intense(vintage) vs reformulation vs dior homme

I have the reformulated DH and its a great fragrance with good longevety and projection, i have tried the vintage too which is great too but little less powerful. The vintage DH has more iris and the reformulation has more coco so....

Re: dior homme intense(vintage) vs reformulation vs dior homme

I prefer vintage DH to reform DHI. I can actually do without DHI it isn't as grand as many may have you think. DH is far more complex imo.

I would have to agree with what he is saying. I bought a bottle of DHI last week and I compared to my vintage DH. The vintage DH is hands down much better. DHI is just so boring and you barely notice as it transform. With the DH you will notice every stage as it changes.

Re: dior homme intense(vintage) vs reformulation vs dior homme

Its basically the Cacao.

The pre-formulation (lets not start throwing around the word vintage for something
that was launched in 2007), has a very accurate and vanillic cacao, very natural.

The re-formuation has more of the "cacao like" sweetness right off the top, but the
difference to the average recepient of the fragrance should be negligible. It is equally
good and you shouldnt try to find out the differences unless youve got 200$ plus to
spend (you WILL get tempted to buy it) even though as I said, the difference is not
worth the extra 100 $.

The Dior homme pre-formulation version is more about the iris, a muted caco and a
luxurious base of leather.

While the re-formulated dior homme is more about the cacao and is quite simillar
to the intense version.
